HONG KONG, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Brinc, a leading global venture accelerator, and Hatcher+, an award-winning, data-driven VC, have announced their intention to identify, invest in, and support the growth of 300 new climate tech startups driving innovation over the next three years.

The partners will leverage Brinc’s global venture accelerator network to find new entrepreneurs, and Hatcher+’s AI-powered FAAST platform to identify the best innovators and new technologies, worldwide.
